The origins
The exact date of opening is set around 1815 but our historic inn seems to have existed before the construction of the current building, specifically in the house designed by the engineer Carlo Bernardo Mosca (1792-1867).
“According to the Torellian catalogue, therefore, the oldest hotel in Turin, of which news has come, would be the one called del Pino near Porta Susina, to which a document of 26 October 1446 mentions […] but above all the hotel of San Giorgio had achieved some fame in that century. It stood at the very ancient church of S. Pietro del Gallo; and at the end of the fifteenth century it was held by Master Sebastiano di Collet.”
